Eva helps Kimmel celebrate milestone; check out Strait interview

Expect lots of shenanigans when Eva Longoria Parker helps the irreverent Jimmy Kimmel commemorate his 1000th show late tonight.

Before settling into that one, you may want to check out a TV highlight, starring another San Antonio name: George Strait. In conjunction with his release of his latest album “Troubador,” he sat down with the host of “Country Music Across America” and spoke about his life and impressive career. That airs on Great American Country (Time Warner digital Channel 238) at 7 tonight.

Back to the Eva guest shot: Longoria Parker, who as most know by now is married to Spur Tony Parker, will appear with Kid Rock — who’s scheduled to entertain during Final Four festivities in San Antonio Saturday — and exercise guru Richard Simmons on the first-ever 90-minute special “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC.

You can also expect lots of flashbacks to hot moments on the show, as well as a very funny skit that pairs Simmons and Kimmel, both dressed in the former’s trademark glittery and abbreviated workout garb.

The broadcast airs locally at 11:05 p.m. on KSAT, right after “Inside Edition.”

What will Eva and Jimmy gab about? You can bet these subjects will come up: her new L.A. restaurant, her home life with Parker and that ridiculous rumored pregnancy.

Most intriguing talk, however, likely will tie into the April 13 return of “Desperate Housewives,” which takes place several months after the tornado-aftermath episode. That Sunday’s episode summary from ABC mentions a surprise wedding on Wisteria Lane.

What I’m hearing is that Gaby’s ex-husband Carlos (S.A.’s Ricardo Chavira) has tricked her into remarrying him without revealing that the doctor diagnosed his blindness — following the tornado — as permanent. Ooh, can’t wait!
